A man died following a crash in Jersey City on the New Jersey Turnpike’s Newark Bay Extension yesterday morning, officials said.

The two-car crash on the westbound elevated roadway occurred at 9:09 a.m. and the man was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, a State Police trooper in Newark said last night. The man was bleeding internally, he said.

The driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash, also a male, suffered broken bones, the trooper said.

The crash caused closure of the westbound ramp and traffic did not begin to flow again until around 10:30 a.m., when one lane reopened, the trooper said.
